NEW MESSAGE REACTIONS
Last month, Mark Zuckerberg announced that WhatsApp was releasing the ability to react to messages by using any emoji to everyone, but people on WhatsApp beta for Windows couldn't use this feature because it was not available.
Fortunately, WhatsApp is now rolling out the updated version of message reactions to all people that install the latest compatible update of WhatsApp beta for Windows from the Microsoft Store!
As you can see in this screenshot, it is finally possible to react to messages by using any emoji and skin-tone: you can start using the feature by clicking the plus button when you want to react to a message.
As we said in our previous article about WhatsApp beta for Windows, the team is really working hard to make the beta app stable and better than the electron version: we should expect more improvements soon.
The new version of message reactions is available to all users that install the latest WhatsApp for Windows beta build from the Microsoft Store today.
